I hate his mom! She's trash! no, worse than trash. At least trash can be recycle and reuse. Seriously, first she completely neglect her own son. Ask him to stay out and don't come home, gives zero fucks how he gonna support himself during that time. And her blatant act of bringing men into her home for prostitution give idea to Minami on how to get cash quickly.
Then her son really didn't come home for half a year and suddenly she ACTING upset as if she's been a good mother and all.
Okay, Kokorogi seriously need to go. I dunno how, but author need to make it happen. At first, I pity her cause she was bullied but now after experiencing several games, she is the only one that never pulls her own weight. heck, she is not even good enough to be a fan-service character.
She easily let herself to be mind controlled just so that she wont have to make a big decision and agree to collaborate with that fake "eye god" to bring yuuichi down (for the sake of love - BULLSHIT!!)
If its anyone else, they would be successfully cheated by these two. But yuuichi being a smartass he is obviously notice that and use Kokorogi against Kamishiro instead (well done yuuichi).
I like this kind of novel where underdogs struggle, become strong and achieved their objectives. But, this kind of story always turn out the same, MC found super hidden dungeon, get mega useful treasure/skill, becoming selfish/jerk. and don't forget the harem which sole purpose is to praise and worship the MC.
Hopefully this novel wont turn out that way. I don't mind cliche or using a concept that has been use by other novel, just hoping that the author will be able to deliver the story with a spin of their own.
Why is it in shounen fantasy manga, whenever they do interclass, interschool, inter-village, inter-anything tournament/test, the villains always "join" (a.k.a ruin) in the middle of the event. Like, can't you wait until they announce the winner, give out the medal and all.
